A native plant of Australia, the familiar and heady aroma of eucalyptus oil is believed to not only be antibacterial but to also work as an effective disinfectant and analgesic. Distilled, expressed or solvent extracted from the Eucalyptus tree, its concentrated oil has a stimulating aroma that both uplifts and heals. Inhaled, eucalyptus oil can help to relieve coughs, colds and chest congestion. Diluted, the oil can be used on the skin to help heal wounds, burns and insect bites and is also known to soothe muscle and joint pains. Used in aromatherapy, the uplifting aroma of eucalyptus oil can also boost vitality and energy.
For a revitalizing soak, just add a couple of drops to your bath water to feel refreshed and invigorated.
